how about cleaning your ball? give it a good spray down and wipe? or adjust your position? for example if you only have 1 ball, and this is happening.. what would you do if you don't have a 2nd or 3rd ball to change too?

If I have a ball with a factory finish of 500, 1000, 1500, polish, and the Trucut pads cut exactly what the number says on the pad, and I wanted to get that surface back, would I only need to sand it at 1500 grit, and then polish it?
@scottbarnes45492 күн бұрын
The first cleaner was on the ball for 1.5 seconds before wiping. The second sat on the ball for 48 seconds and then used the magic eraser. The CTD cleaner MIGHT be better but the test parameters were totally different 😊

For me the Big B Brands have way too much surface on them oob. Usually (due to scanner testing) my go to surfaces are 500/2000 skip for anything "dull" and 4000 to Stable for anything "shiny" . Example. I love my Optimum Idol. Shot 300 with it. However I need to put the 2k back on it (since it is getting a little too far down lane) however i don't really want to (you know 300 ball...). My Marvel Maxx is polished and I haven't touched the surface The road was good but situational until I did 500/2000 then it rolls close to an OG Troublemaker. I changed surface on the road 4 times until i got it right (Reacta gloss OOB, 3000, 1k/3k then 500/2000 skip)

Genuine question, not trying to dismiss your product: To preface, I get the same result utilizing water with dishsoap (50 parts water, 1 part liquid soap), wiping off with a towel, and prepping the surface with a damp magic eraser (which also becomes dirty). With the end-result, I also get a very similar clean look, feeling and sound that the "tackify" additive appears to give. So my question is, what exactly does the "tackifier" additive do that would differentiate it from my result, since they look, sound, and feel identical? Is there a way that you could prove using a microscope that it is in-fact filling poures in the resin to rejuvenate the coverstock? It seems possible, but would like to see it on a much smaller scale to prove the difference. Big fan of the BAM Pad, and was hoping to understand your other products a bit better. They seem very carefully designed, but overlap in terms of their intended use cases, as I've seen you use both "That wow factor", "Purple stuff", and "Life after death", etc. with similar tools. And, it's a bit confusing what they are intended for, barring "hook monster" because that one makes more immediate sense.
@williamfreitas70167 күн бұрын
That Purple Stuff was the company’s original ball cleaner and was intended to be used with a power pad after each shot. When the dry towel rule was announced the already approved That Wow Factor Ball Cleaner was released to the public. Ron has described it as TPS on steroids as it’s stronger and designed to clean after a set. Life After Death was the latest release that combines the strongest ball cleaner to date with the tactify additive to double as a cover life extender. That Wow Factor was a line of products that included the Ball Cleaner, TR or Transition Reducer and finally HM or Hook Monster. HM and TR we intended to be used after each shot. While HM can last three games it was mainly kept due to how well it handles phasing. So Fresh So Clean is another cover life extender. That and LAD are the only current CTD products that can be safely used with the Scuff Mark Remover. Other cleaners you can see the SMR start to pit. This is an undesirable chemical reaction that includes toxic vapors. The difference from the dish soap is products like Dawn advertise the truth, they repel the oil. In essence it pushes the oil deeper into the cover rather than remove it.

@@williamfreitas7016Not sure why my replies got deleted last night. But, oh well. tl;dr after spending half an hour breaking down the products, Life After Death supercedes all other cleaner products except Hook Monster, which is unique in what it does. Not entirely sure why the older products are still around considering how much they overlap in use cases, but I digress. The products seem good, but it's still difficult to navigate the products without reading between the lines on each page and watching the videos on them.

And the other to handle the actual cleaning for any coverstock, but with additional protection for reactive balls as a bonus. This is somewhat proven by the "Back to League" kit, which contains those two products alongside a BAM Pad and set of TruCuT surface pads (TruCuT conditioner not included). And lastly, the instructions on the "Scuff Mark Remover" stating to utilize "So Fresh & So Clean | Bowling Ball Life Extender", while it is not present, implies that "Life After Death" contains the same additives as well.
@@williamfreitas7016Not sure why my replies got deleted last night. But, oh well. tl;dr after spending half an hour breaking down the products, Life After Death supercedes all other cleaner products except Hook Monster, which is unique in what it does. Not entirely sure why the older products are still around considering how much they overlap in use cases, but I digress. The products seem good, but it's still difficult to navigate the products without reading between the lines on each page and watching the videos on them.
@@williamfreitas7016 apparently I can't reply to anything in here.
Should have used the other cleaner with a magic eraser for it to be fair lol
Agree
Should have let the other product dwell on the surface for the recommended amount of time as well.
We followed the instructions for each. Mixing cleaners with the scuff mark remover can create issues. Which is why we are very specific with what product to use it with.
@@CtdbowlingThanks..I was about to give the same answers to the above comments.

Artic will be my 1st Vibe
I have a brutal nightmare that is finished at 500/ rough buff. So my question is what pads would I do if I was doing it by hand.
Most importantly have 2 they break also have a removal tool they get stuck always seems to happen after you loose the tool and your backup thumb.
Get it you won’t be disappointed 😊
I have 2 legitimate questions… most people seem to hate reacta gloss but how many games does it take to get rid of the over under it causes that people talk about without resurfacing the ball? And also why don’t you guys put your polish on a storm ball to show us that your product is actually better?
